W E L C O M E

We're a female run Denver based zine publication highlighting local businesses, events, music, style and art in the Mile High. Join us as we build a stronger more creative and informed community together.

“We’ve been at home working on an album for around a year now, we wanted to head out west to hit some spots we love before we head back out once our album is released. Always love the West coast.”

How long have you all known each other? How did you meet?

“Connor and I have know each other since middle school, and we both met Nick in our dorms when we moved to Denver for school. We met Collin about 5 years ago? Seems like we’ve all known each other forever at this point.”

How would you best describe your style of music?

“Loud?”

How has your music evolved since you first began playing music together?

“New music/ bands definitely affect our sound, also trying out new recording techniques. New gear is also always fun. We always hope to progress with something new each time we write.”

What are you currently working on?

“We’re about to release an LP here soon that we all feel really good about, so the last few months have really just been mixing and making sure it sounds how we want it to sound.”

Goals for 2019?

“More music, more Catan.“

Favorite local shit: Bars? Bands? Shops? Food?

“You can always find one of us at PoN pOn or Tooeys. Playin Par 3 Golf at Harvard Gulch when it’s nice out. Hi Dive for shows. Zaidys for breakfast. Wax Trax for rekkids, and Illegal Pete’s for Seth Stone.”

Lastly, Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry badass era or Clint Eastwood now 88 years old badass still directing and acting era?

Day 17 🎁 The powerhouse that is @lauramoretzart of @atcdengallery ✨ ‘ATC’, short for ‘among the colors’, are words inspired by the Rainer Marie Rilke poem, “Painting is something that takes place among the colors, one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves.” After hosting pop up events for over 10 years, Moretz opened the multi-use creative space to host workshops, private and public events, art exhibits, and more. On top of being a brick and mortar business owner, Moretz is also an established contemporary abstract expressionist painter and currently has a new exhibition on display titled, ‘In the Hands of Grace,’ on view until January 31st making it a great place to visit with friends and family this holiday season! • The creative space @atcdengallery is hosting a Vision Board Workshop tomorrow night, Dec 18th, at 6:30pm. Tickets are $40, $5 of which go to the @trevorproject included in your ticket purchase. All materials are included but please bring inspired material if you already have something you want to add to your own vision board to welcome in the New Year recharged and inspired! *Link for tickets available in @lauramoretzart bio! (Ticket sales close at 2pm tomorrow.) ✨

Day 12 🎁 Tucked away on Tennyson St. is a cocktail bar who’ve planted roots literally and figuratively in the Berkeley neighborhood: @thetatarian🌲”Originating from central and southeastern Europe the Tatarian Maple also thrives here on the front range of Colorado. After discovering a map with a real estate ad from the early 1900s advertising that the city of Berkeley was gifting a shade tree to every new plot owner, we envisioned our concept around the theme of trees to pay homage to this bit of history of the neighborhood.” ✨
Complementing the stunning interior design layout of the long and narrow bar, the cocktail booklet is not only beautifully designed but just as surprising and purposefully thought out with its libations, drawing inspiration for each drink from nature. 🥃

Our EIC @carleeah interviewed the owners who’ve also opened other notoriously popular spots all over the Denver metro area including @unionlodge1 @thearvadatavern and @klinesbeerhall (DAMN🔥) which offers more insight on the bar as well as more stunning photos of the space!

Day 11 🎁 The most magical place many of us call our second home (and where we had our Spring issue release party in May!): @ftgreenebar ✨ Owner Eleanor Cheetham is not only a savvy business woman but a badass bartender with impeccable interior design taste. The setting is ethereal with touches of darker nuances while still cozy and welcoming. An architectural showpiece that is their actual bar completes the space. Spend a night in Globeville to enjoy crafted cocktails and long conversations 〰️ (The @passportprogram is accepted here, too!) Photograph by @wlshk ✨
